Corbin, 33, is entering his 11th season, making him the team’s most experienced starter. He arrived at camp early and was stretched out more than any of the starters in camp, with Martinez playing with the team’s rotation to line Corbin up for the opener. His final spring start will be Saturday against the Houston Astros.
Corbin will join Liván Hernández, John Lannan, Stephen Strasburg and Max Scherzer as Nationals pitchers to make at least two Opening Day starts. Corbin will face a familiar foe in the Braves; he is 6-10 with a 4.28 career ERA against the defending NL East champions. Corbin said they possess a lineup with “big-time hitters with power.” His goal is to stay within himself, marshaling the Opening Day adrenaline.
Corbin said he has made some tweaks to his arm slot that he believes will allow him to replicate the release point on his slider and other pitches from when he was at his best. Martinez has stressed to Corbin — both this spring and the past few seasons — the need for him to keep the ball low in the zone. He also has praised Corbin for making 31 starts each of the past two seasons and for being a leader in the clubhouse despite his struggles.
